EDNA FORD, OF WAUPUN, WISCONSIN.

SPECTACLE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 721,881, dated March 3, 1903.

Application filed July 25, 1902- Serial No. 116,963. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDNA H. FORD, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Waupun, in the county of Dodge and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Spectacle-Holder, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in spectacle-holders; and the object of my improvement is to provide hooks which will, in connection with a pin, attach spectacles to the dress in such a manner that the spectacles may not be broken, yet which will admit of their being easily removed when desired. I attain these objects by the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a side elevation of my device with the spectacles shown in dotted lines as attached. Fig. 2 is a front view of the holder, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the spectacle-holding hook proper shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

A is a base-plate having a safety-pin B on its back. Attached also to the back of baseplate is the wire or base 0, which terminates at its opposite ends on the front side of the base-plate in two reversely turned or bent hooks D D. These serve for holding the nosepiece of the spectacles vertically, as shown in Fig. 1.

By a proper twisting movement of the nosepiece the spectacles are attached or detached from the hook D and when attached are securely held in a vertical position on the dress, as shown in Fig. 1.

In Fig. 3 is presented in detail the spectacle-attaching hook, formed of the wire 0 and the hooks D and attached to the base A in Figs. 1 and 2 by soldering wire base 0 or in some other suitable manner.

I do not limit myself to making the device specifically as described; but it may be made of other known materials than described and in other equivalent forms, being within the spirit of my invention.

What I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a spectacle-holder, the combination of a base; means of attaching the base to a dress, and two reversely-turned hooks located at the opposite ends of the base for holding the spectacles substantially as described.

2. In a spectacle-holder, the combination of a base, a safety-pin for attaching the base to a dress, and two reversely-turned hooks located at opposite ends of the base for holding the spectacles substantially as described.

EDNA H. FORD.
